Employees at Google are not tracking you.
Programmatic algorithms on some Google properties are processing your data to show you the most relevant content (search, G+ posts, mail, news etc) and advertisements. There is a big difference between this "tracking" and the kind of snooping that spy organizations do.
By the way I'll be surprised if all spy organizations and not just NSA aren't trying their best to get more information on certain people from wherever they can.
